    "Our belief is that music can build a common language that allows
    people with different views and perspectives to come together."

    See, that's exactly what many *don't* want. It's also why every
    discussion forum must be trolled by the far right. Everything must
    be conflictual. Divide & conquer, you know. The general phenomenon
    is no accident.

    And as long as I'm commenting on the phenomenon, I'll go ahead and
    add an observation from Lazzarato (partially via Foucault): Whereas
    liberalism simply posited competition as "natural," neoliberalism
    recognizes human tendencies to cooperate & seeks to suppress them.

    "In 1968, Pensacola and the rest of North Florida supported American Independent Party candidate George Wallace." (Wikipedia)

    Perhaps not much has changed there since 1968.

    I agree.
